Artists of the 3rd Wellness Fest – Vilcabamba 2025

Lisa McLellan

I have over 20 years of experience as a performer and choreographer. The 1-hour performance piece I want to present is a collaborative creation directed by myself with 15 talented locals. The title is: When the Eagle and the Condor Fly as One, A Journey of Transformation.

This performance is my response to the eagle and the condor prophecy. The prophecy says that in this Pachakuti there is a possibility that the eagle and the condor can fly as one. In other words, we are partly responsible for the realization of this possibility. My performance is my reflection on what we need to do as individuals in order to integrate heart and mind, balance our masculine and feminine forms, and harmonize the ancestral and modern forms. In this performance, my goal is to offer an embodied experience, based on my understanding of what we need to do to free the human spirit so that the eagle and the condor can fly as a new consciousness.
